I installed your open gapps yesterday too coderus (previously manually installed play store on jolla c using old instructions), which fixed the issues and the play store updated to 7.7 from 7.6 and updates and installs worked ok again, but today it's back to "download pending" everywhere. Any ideas what's causing this or any logging to check?

Ah well thanks for your effort coderus - I'll try an aliendalvik wipe next week if the issue persists. Would you recommend still using your installer to get gapps back on a clean install? Is there any other way which would help narrow down what the problem is?

I have a hunch the problem comes with the new download manager in Android 7.0. Latest Play Store can't download apps, but apps install fine if manually downloaded.

Downgrading Play Store to a previous version fixes it temporarily, until it auto updates. Probably this is why Coderus' fix stopped working the next day - it contained previous versions of Play Store components, which auto-updated overnight.

Can we block the Play Store autoupdate somehow as a last option?

I heard Google is going to put some limitation on a non-certified GMS device, that might be the first step.

On my rooted Moto Z Play even with stock ROM it also shows uncertified, wondering how that will make a difference...
